Chapter 27 (2/2)
”No, I do not like such rumors—”
”No, no! Wait a moment! The prince's rumors, they were not rumors that could be talked about in a place like this! You do not knoho could be listening!”
The one who brought up the topic was Louis himself
Besides, in such a loud voice, I had the ie rumors about me
Perhaps he thought that he could easily deceive an 8-years-old girl into believing the rumors
I wondered if the original Erica didn't question the ruuste
”I think I want to get along with Prince Auguste, but the prince see to train the poor boy who cannot ride a dragon yet, but he will not go out with h we are cousins”
”That's unbelievable, Louis-sama”
Louis seeuste
Or, did he think that Auguste was in the way as a rival over the succession to the throne?
Either way, he would like to take advantage of the bad ruuste's position worse
This was troubling
If I agreed then it was likely to be spread around that the duchess of Aurelia was a friend of Louis by the surroundings, and if I disagreed then he would loudly speak of the opposite things to manipulate a different impression
I would do my utmost to make it clear properly
”Prince Auguste has been totally distorted in the past few years I a I want to be friends with that poor friendless child I aentle person so I want to be friends with everyone”
”Me too, Prince Auguste is not a person like the ru to become friends with him, I also—”
”You had better quit it! Prince Auguste is rough, I do not knohat to do if a defenceless little girl like you approached him”
”Is that so, Louis-sama”
It was becohter
How long would the evil uste?
With this kind of people surrounding hiuste to become similar to an alabaster statue
While doing such conversation that see to make a turn……at that time
”Who are you! To steal the dance partner of another person……!”
Louis' voice was heard from behind, not in front of me
In retrospect, Louis was a little far away, stiffening with his hand out in the air sporting a strange expression
Then, as this person taking my hand?
The one in front of me was a tall person who hid their face with a mask that usually could be seen in a masquerade ball
They earing Ignitia's nobility costuolden thread, and boots with high heels
Blond hair was spilled out from under their hat
Who was it?
I felt like we had met somewhere
”Pardon ht whether the princess was bored because it was such a tedious step that I felt like yawning”
”What did you say!? That statenitia!”
”Hnitia? Never heard of that name Is that a name of a rural nobility somewhere in the country?”
”This……this plebeian! There was no need to say that!!”
Louis beca words and provocations
Beyond the hing
”Perhaps, you are……”
”Then, I will take the princess away”
The person took off their htly and held it over us as if to obstruct Louis' line of sight
In a short period of ti down fro bolt
They put a black hair wig on olden hair
Hung a gray robe on my shoulders and hid the luxurious blue dress
With the quick work of the ure of a Harvan's aristocrat
The masked person themselves took off their hat and mask and freed their covered hair
When a mantle rapped around their waist like a wraparound skirt and worn a veil with a plain color, that person quickly tuned into a figure of a woman in a dress
Those changes only took a few seconds
The surrounding people atching the series of movements were surprised and opened their mouths blankly
To Louis' line of sight as behind the mantle, ould have seemed as if we disappeared
”You are……Devil-san?”
”Shh, please be quiet”
That person who took off the mask was the self-proclaimed Devil-san who I met in the depths of the cathedral
Right now she had lowered her skin's exposure and earing a dress with modest hues like a maid
I only saw a ic
She pulled me, as in a completely plain appearance, as she moved away from the circle of dancers
Brought by Devil-san, I reached an unpopular terrace
There seeht sky spread out
The sea around Island of Messenger seeht of the stars was reflected on the calhtly
It looked as if the castle was floating in outer space
With such a fantastic sight, Prince Auguste who had a lonely s there
